Doomsday Machine marks Arch Enemy's third installment in their new millennium Angela Gossow period. This album certainly has the slickest production of all three Gossow albums. Gossow herself has been produced in order to sound harsher vocally, sometimes bordering on black metal screeching on some songs. Fans of previous Gossow albums will enjoy Doomsday Machine but will be sad as this is the last Arch Enemy album with Christopher Amott on it. Amott left the band in the summer of 2005 in order to continue his studies.

The 2005 release "Doomsday Machine" by Arch Enemy is yet another example of the band's ability to create brilliant melodic death metal, in their own unique way. Stepping further away from their older, original sound, Arch Enemy has created a new album consisting of songs that vary in speed and overall sound. "Doomsday Machine" is a highly entertaining mix of songs ranging from a slow, haunting intro to blistering, bone chilling riffs.

There seems to be a lot of praise for Doomsday Machine, people think this was the comeback album of Arch Enemy after the lacking Anthems Of Rebellion. I didn't listen to Arch Enemy that often until I found the slipcase version of Doomsday Machine for a low price so I decided to pick it up and see what all the praise is about.
I love the futuristic look of the cover and the album booklet, it really gives a post apocalyptic aura and it shows great care - another good reason to buy instead of downloading. The intro really emits the post apocalyptic aura even more; it really sounds like a doom machine is about to be unleashed. And the machine unleashes it's rage on "Taking Back My Soul". The sound is crystal clear and Angela's screams are really crushing and it grabs you directly by the throat and the aggressive melodic riffs set the score just right. "Nemesis" is really a song for live performances especially with the lyric "One for all - all for one we are strong - we are one Nemesis". Now my favourite track of the album "My Apocalypse" has the perfect balance of brutality and melody and I love the added "sonar echo" effect. It gives a vision of a submarine about to strike.
